? Spooky playlist to get you in the Halloween mood!

Gainsborough Trinity
In the Northern Premier League, Gainsborough are in 11th place with 22 points. They have five wins, seven draws and only two losses to their name. Oddly enough, only one of those wins has come at home and they have not lost on the road in the league or in any competition for that matter.

Their previous win in this season's FA Trophy did actually come at home and was against Barwell, members of the Southern League Premier Division Central, whom they beat 3-1. It was their third home win in three home cup games.

Unsurprisingly, their top scorer this season is former Birmingham City and Sheffield United player and Jamaican international Clayton Donaldson who has 12 in all competitions. He is closely followed by Liam Waldock who has 10. They both scored in the last round.

Lancaster City
The Dolly Blues won a thriller at Craik Park in the last round when Nico Evangelinos' hat-trick turned the tie around. But despite solid performances, City have only picked up one win in the four games since that tie. They made it to the Third Round Proper last season and will be hoping to better that, continuing with a win this Saturday.

Head-to-Head
Trinity and City met earlier this season in Gainsborough which resulted in a dominant 2-0 win for The Dolly Blues. They also met in this competition last season where goals from Paul Dawson and Brandon Lonsdale settled the tie.

Here are the last five results across all competitions:
